Travel plans
Feb. 17th, 2010 07:21 pmPlans for this spring/summer . . .
We're finally using the resort/timeshare week Tom's parents gave us for our honeymoon (hey, it's only been a bit over a decade). We wanted someplace within driving distance and near a national park, which gives us . . . . Gatlinburg. We figure that we can deal with the traffic and have a decent close base to Smokey Mountains NP. That will be a Saturday-Saturday week in the last half of May. I can't remember quite when. I have to get Whiskey up to NJ before we drive south. MiL is dogsitting (we don't know if FiL knows this yet). Thank god the resort has a heated pool, two whirlpools, and a sauna. I'll need them after two full days' driving.
My family reunion is on 12 June in Mississippi this year. We're thinking of going out 9-16 June (Wed-wed) and spending most of that time camping between here and there. We'll probably have Whiskey for that, though we have to figure out something to do with him during the reunion itself. I asked my mom if he could stay with their dog in their motorhome (different "rooms"), but she was confused by the proposition. We can't afford to board him for a week, though, so not sure what we'll do. Maybe there's a good place to board him in Tupelo. Maybe I can find a doggie daycare open on Saturday. He'd like that.
Other than that, we have no firm plans. We'll spend a week in NJ at the end of March. Probably another in July, depending on when his folks go on vacation. Tom's semester starts in late August.
